The California Fair Employment and Housing Council recently finalized new regulations that changes one of the California notices that must be posted in the workplace effective April 1. The affected poster is the “Family Care and Medical Leave (CFRA Leave) and Pregnancy Disability Leave” poster which will be renamed the “Family Care and Medical Leave and Pregnancy Disability Leave” poster.

The updated poster contains information about the New Parent Leave Act (NPLA) which applies to employers with 20 to 49 employees and provides up to 12 workweeks of job protected baby bonding leave in a 12-month period. Employers with 50 or more employees continue to be covered by the California Family Rights Act which provides both baby bonding leave and medical leave.
